At one point I was able to change preloader to use IOS 249 and got a no hacks.ini file found and it booted to the system menu, but then clicked on HBC only to have it go black and now can't boot into IOS249 from the preloader.

Any help would be appreciated.

I do have bootmii installed as an IOS, but I get a black screen as well if I try running HBC.

This should be a simple fix. First disable any hacks you may have, then set your ios to ios60, autoboot & return to: system menu. Boot the wii. Any change?

Many thanks! That fixed the boot issue. Running Homebrew still goes to a black screen and the controller loses sync.

Would the next step be to try to install HBC again then try running DopIOS and make sure IOS60 is fully upgraded?

Thanks in advance,

Sounds like you have an issue with an ios, probably not related to ios60. Most likely ios36, possibly downgraded, or other downgraded ios. We can have a look for clues with CB2_BB_SignCheck.zip, extract to your sd-card and bannerbomb it. You will push reset many many times until the app exits. This will generate a cvs file on your sd-card. Post it here.
